Bush defends toady

US president George Bush has come out in support of attorney general nominee Michael Mukasey, as he faces pressure over his views on the constitutionality of coronation. "It's an unfair question," President Bush told reporters from a large chair on a raised platform in the Oval Office. "Michael Mukasey is a fine and loyal subject, but the Senate Judiciary Committee is asking him to comment on issues on which he has not been briefed. Off with their heads." Mukasey has over 20 years' experience hitting people with a balloon on a stick.
